Is it true that you still can't restructure contracts or extend players before their contract expires? Seems bizarre that its not in the game anymore. Good teams extend guys who they want to keep all the time.

Last year you could negotiate and resign players during the season of the final year of their contract. It sounds like nothing new will be added in that regards.

I wish there was a way to choose whether you want your contract front loaded, backloaded, or evenly spread. last year in my CC, the cap didn't always go up properly from year to year so all the backloaded contracts started to add up and screwed me in the end.

I know no one probably knows this yet but i figured i would ask... Does anyone know if the QB injury bug will be fixed? It wasn't possible for the user controlled team qb's to get hurt in connected careers. It would always be the person who hit the QB.

Also, Anyone have any idea on how progression will work?

I came to the forums late and keep seems to find much about the game play tweaks and possible connected online franchise features. If you can link me or let me know i would appreciate it!

Sorry meat I misunderstood you. They had some sort of coach mode in place of offline franchise last year. In that coach mode you could not edit players appearance or anything, it was very boring because you had no control like you do with offline franchise. They took offline franchise out all together in madden 13. I'm hoping they put it in madden 25. Sorry for the confusion.

To be fair, running an offline Connected Career as a head coach WAS our offline Franchise mode in Madden 13.

Rest assured though, we have heard the fans and you can edit players again in Madden 25's Connected Franchise mode.

Just to be clear though - If you want to run a traditional "Offline Franchise" just start one as a head coach or Owner. The details of what those positions allow you to do is spelled out pretty clearly when you start the mode.
